leader reid has fundamentally changed his view from two years ago when we discussed it before. the proposals that the democrats have put on the table for rules reform are modest and responsible. it is essentially this. if you're going to filibuster, you have to earn it. you have to actually be there and speak. that's not the way the rules work right now. you can object and we're done and then it is the obligation, the burden is on the majority to assemble 60 votes to cut off debate rather than on the 40 who are trying to sustain debate. a so-called filibuster. >> bill: let's go back to the real filibuster. the way it used to be. senator chris coons, thank you for coming in this morning. >> good to see you in delaware. >> bill: yes indeed. olivier knox thanks for coming in. we'll see you at the white house later today. i'll be back and tell what you the president's up to today. another busy schedule at the white house. lunch with mitt romney! how about that. >> announcer: this is the "full court press."
